Getting Arrested and Saving Borris

by Sam Talbot

So.... I got arrested. As soon as we got into Cleargrove, the Goblins that were there took Borris into their care. For what it's worth, at least they tried. But as soon as they took Borris, some lady (I think her name was Tracy?) accused me of murdering her husband! I could barely speak. What's worse, the guard arrested me without evidence and tossed me in jail to await the magistrates to arrive in three weeks. I haven't been that angry in a long time. Since I wasn't going anywhere anytime soon, I waited for my friends to help me get out of the predicament and clear my name. Surprisingly, it wasn't too long until Tracy was brought in, carried by Aerilyn, and crying. One explanation and a Zone of Truth spell later, and I was free again, with no.... um, no new bloodshed.
 
Our next issue was Borris. He was getting worse, and the Goblins and healers in the town were unable to help. We had to get to Greenhorn. We got some horses, a muskox, and a mastiff. Not sure about the need for the other animals, and the horses are a bit too big for me, but I'm sure they will show their use in time. We rode for two nights straight. By the time we arrived in Greenhorn, I felt like death. We were able to get to a temple of Moradin, and thankfully their head priest was willing to help. It was even free. I may be a follower of Chauntea, but I feel like I can trust kind people like this. We went to the Adventurer's Hall for lodging. We had to name our group. "The Cursed Crusaders". It has a ring to it, although I don't feel too cursed. I just haven't mastered my "gift" yet... I think. I hope we are able to get some supplies and make some money. Our dash to Greenhorn didn't leave out finances in a good spot. I may not be the best with money, but even I know we can't afford food and lodging if we run out of money.
 
Hopefully, the worst is behind us and the Prince listens to us about the Goblins.
